In All Types of Trouble | Ashville Weekly ep210

[@GM12ALL]

Started watching Ashville in 2020 when my middle son was born, and would be watching it in the evening whilst I gave bottle to settle him. Now he is 4 and he watches it with me, whilst I now feed my daughter who has just turned 1. This is a constant and inspirational to the next generation on how nothing is easygoing and you have to put in the hardwork. Now my oldest son wants to start watching this from the beginning as he was 9, when we started and now he is 13. He is looking to his future and talking about wanting to run his own business, and you have enabled to give him a insight, with a amazing team behind you. Keep on going and being the next generation’s inspiration.

There have been more times than I can count when the brown stuff has hit the fan at Ashville HQ. Some of them have been soul crushing, like having to move out of the yard you have been in since way before my time. But the one thing that has always remained consistent is your determination to work your way through it and find the solution. Take this latest incident with the silo and how you all managed to work your way through the problem. Keep up the fantastic work Daniel, you are the perfect example of hard work reaping the rewards.

I like the idea but the yard is everybodys place of work and a site thats not safe for everyone to be on without proper cautions taken so maybe else were

[@corpsimmons575]

@@perisher7377you could certainly do it, the yard is no less safe than active heritage railway yards which can also run open days. It’s just a lot of paperwork and planning to do so for not much benefit to the business. They are running most days of the week as well, so any day they decide to do an open day on would make 0 revenue. From the diagrams for the full layout for the yard, it seems like Dan is trying to make it a little more accessible for the general public, but in the end it’s a business and not a theme park.

As someone who did tyre fitting over 20 years, I previously commented that it was too much work for one fitter. I have to say I admired their enthusiasm, it brought back memories and I could feel their emotions. :)

[@rcactionsquad6861]

I can tell you it was the opposite there wasn’t enough to do, 12 hour shift mon - fri and 6-2 on Saturday to do about 15 tyres a week and a bit of drop off and pickups in between, problem is keeping on top of things left no work to be done, I’d spend about 2 hours in the evening taking tyres off the trucks and replacing them with fresh ones and then in the morning I would fix all the issues with them tyres which would take about 2/3 hours so it wasn’t that hard which left me without work and “sitting” around which they didn’t like but all vehicles had fresh rubber and was moving all my stock was built up ready to go, all vehicles out so I literally had nothing to do

I used to be a fitter. 6-4 working hours, on call 1in4, the on call week was brutal, I’d do my usual 6-4, and call outs after 4. I have worked 6-4, been home an hour, get called out, get home, sit down, get called out again, etc, etc. I had to give it up due to health deteriorating, wasn’t getting the sleep my body needs. I loved it so much because all call outs was cash in hand, away from tax man. - saved call out money to put huge deposit down on a house that me, my wife & 4 kids now live. Any how, I now work an office job 8-3 mon-fri for a tyre company. Distribution is where it’s at for me now!

I used to work for a company. We had an armcon silo similar setup. The auger always used to jam when the cement silo was max filled. They have soft start relays which stop the motors kicking in at full power. So if they have a lot of resistence the soft starter trips before it can turn. Everytime it happened we had to get a company in at 2.5k a time to sack it out and bag it up.

[@Total_Egal]

The Cement Silo is a absolute critical part of your operation but also a single point of failure. It would make sense to have a second one installed in the long run. It also looks verrs often like you are running out of cement verry close to having waiting time and got new delivery verry close to running empty. A second silo would not only eliminate a single point of failure but also enlarge the storrage capacity and give you more buffer to work with. It would also give a chance to load cement to your lories but take delivery of new cement at the same time. With more Storrage you also have toe chance to service other companies or take additional cement lories. But i am wondering. Is it not possible to bring in cement on a Rail waggons and park one or 2 at the end of your railway close to the buffers? You could blow in your silo for yourself, have larger storrage in house (in the waggons) use your rail system at least partialy on a dalie base and not have it sitting empty.

[@Chissler]

I work with loads of similar equipment to the silo you use. If in the future you are doing any kind of retrofit's to the silo, and if its at all possible, I would advise to add some kind of valve over the top of the screw. So if you get a similar error later, you will be able to close the valve, and be able to pull out the screw in its entirety if you need to maintenance without emptying the silo. It decreases the risk of burning out the motor on the screw as well if you get some stoppages.

Hi Daniel, I am employed in a sign company and have to do with sign production and in Denmark we have the following sizes (standard) 1000x3000 mm 1250x2500 mm 1500x3000 mm 2000x3000 mm we make both vinyl with laminate and direct UV printing on plates. ( alu sandwich ) 3 mm It seems a little strange that your supplier does not have the format 2000x3000 mm. Anywho that was just my input have a nice day ^^

[@Jacob-jo4px]

2000x3000mm isn't used in the UK very often at all. Max size most sheet suppliers will sell id 1500x3000mm (coming from a UK sign manufacturer)

[@Jacob-jo4px]

And most UK firms only print and lam up to 1600mm wide and few people here own a 3x2m flatbed. Most are 1.5x2.5m

[@HesBack420]

[@Sarge084]

Bloody hell Daniel, you need an industrial electrician on site. A few simple tests would have found the fault on the cement silo instead of guessing and swapping parts until you've eliminated the fault. A good man would also be able to check the overload settings and the load on each motor to see if there's a mechanical problem causing a motor to overload. You might need to clean the augers out, or there might be a worn shaft or collapsed bearing. If I wasn't such an old fart I'd volunteer my services.

[@Sarge084]

Refurbish a motor that is working? You're going to get ripped off there mate. Hasn't your sparkie got an insulation resistance tester to check the motor windings?

[@4cds14]

As someone who has been in the sign trade for 35 years what base material are you asking for? If as I would assume you are using composite (Dibond) you can get sheets 3m x2m ( Amari Plastics & Blackburns metals will supply) Is it the sign company you use can only print 1500mm wide onto vinyl which is then laminated? in which case you have 2 choices 1 have the sign in 2 sections 1500mm x 2000mm or 2 you need to use a company that will print direct to the substrate on a flatbed printer, that way it’s one piece 3m x 2m. Hope this helps

You could add additional line of lights to the railway line all the way across to the entry and just make it on when a train is arriving. So you would be able to really work 24/7 in case.

Few years ago they used to offload very early but near by residents said they could hear it and complained to the council. Although he wasn't doing anything illegal council warned him.

I have to say as an electrical maintenance engineer of some 50 years, you have a very weird way of fault finding problems on your silo.

[@Stefan_Kawalec]

You're absolutely right. From what is shown in the video, at some point Mr Louisy's actions made the whole thing unnecessary problematic.

[@Leaving_Orbit]

Expensive but the silver lining is that they now have a spare motor and the spare control components needed to keep it running for years.

[@Stefan_Kawalec]

@@Leaving_Orbit It's not the matter of cost this time, but the whole procedure. This time Mr Louisy's micromanaging made the whole process more complicated and longer.

[@Leaving_Orbit]

@@Stefan_Kawalec I guess it’s a matter of perspective. It seemed to me Daniel followed the advice he was given . The primary fault was severe and was most definitely causing damage long before the failure, which led to the cascade of component damage. Daniel should definitely contract with a good company to manage PPM services in the future as the cost of this breakdown would justify it. (ie City Facilities Management)

[@Stefan_Kawalec]

​@@Leaving_OrbitMr Louisy seems to be very agile in taking care of PPM. Whenever it's possible they do it in-house, whenever it's not - they outsource it. I think the biggest problem is his micromanaging. He should finally realize his companies are way too big for him to supervise everything personally. They need more procedures for situations like this. Cement silo is crucial infrastructure for them, so a multi-step maintenance and problem-solving procedure should be created. And it should not include Mr Louisy's personal involvement.There are people who get paid to make his companies run.

[@BJHolloway1]

Daniel all problems require a systematic approach to reach a successful resolution, otherwise you chase your tail around and only eventually solve the problem after much stress. As you showed here today. A lot of companies train their personal in problem solving. There are many companies I am sure who perform such training one being Kepner-Tregoe who I would endorse highly.
